100th Post!

My first blog post for "Just Another Day in Paradise" was on May 8th, 2008. Wow!

A lot has happened since then, especially when my OLDEST was just days away from turning a year old! Time has flown!!

Anywho...never really told how I decided to name the family blog what it is. Well...I love country music and this familiar song, so appropriately named, "Just Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Vassar, feels like it's describing exactly what my life feels like!

Lyrics go something like this:

The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok. It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can meand my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Well, it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screaming. The phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday. You're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise

So that's our family theme song....no matter what we go through, it is what it is!

I'll leave with you with a couple October pics so far....I love this season!

Kahler and I had our annual trip to the pumpkin patch in Ligonier. Love that place! We pick out all of our pumpkins...do all the fun little mazes and have a great time! This year was the first time Brock didn't come, since he stayed home with Lady May and the no-napper of the day (Isaac). So next year we'll ALL get to go:)
Picking out his pumpkinHere he is with cousin, Kloie measuring how big they're getting!
Getting ready to run thru the corn maze! We had a great time!

Now for Isaac!
He is doing phenomenal at his pre-school! We are so happy it's going so well! We're already seeing a big improvement in him so that's just awesome. I feel like my frustrations with him have lessened, and are now targeted more towards my terrible 2 year old! (cough*Kahler!*cough) =)
But anyways, we're really proud of our Isaac and cannot wait to see him improve even more!


And last but not least...our baby girl is 12 weeks old on 10-10-10!! She is bright-eyed and healthy and doing great! I weighed her a week ago and she was 7.6 lbs. so I'm sure she's pushin' the 8's by now.
Nowadays she is eating during the day about every 2.5 hrs and eats about 3.5 ounces each time. She's getting to be quite the little piggy. What I'm super excited about is she'll go to bed about 10 and sleep til 2, 2:30 and even 3 am for me! I get so happy when that happens! So she's starting to get her day/nights in order...thank goodness!

Last Monday (the 4th) I officially went back to work so I had to leave my baby girl for my first full day. Talk about a rough morning! It's one thing when your 2 1/2 month old baby actually LOOKS like that size, however Maylin still is sporting the brand new baby look so it's just hard. She still is so little to me but almost 3 months. Just crazy. Luckily she has excellent care-givers coming to watch her at our house during the day so that's been awesome. We made it thru our first week really smoothly, and we're just feeling blessed with how much her babysitters love her already. It's a pretty great feeling=)
(Sorry about the small pic but it came from Brock's phone) but I thought it was cute!=)

Hope u all will stick it out with me thru the next 100 posts:) Happy 10.10.10!!
